Boost C++ Libraries
Submitted by

Maybe this is old news to some, but I recently found out about Boost. Boost
is a repository of free, portable, peer-reviewed C++ libraries. It acts as a
proving ground for new libraries, some of which may eventually be proposed
for addition to the ISO C++ Standard Library. Some of the libraries are:

Conversion: Numeric, polymorphic, and lexical casts.

CRC.

Memory Pool management.

Static (compile time) assert.

Tokenizer.

Quaterion math library.

Special math functions like atanh, sinc, and sinhc.

Regular expressions.

Smart pointers.

If you are used to working with the STL, I think Boost is a very cool
collection of libraries that handle a number of common, recurring tasks.
